Racist On Election Day

Tennesseans probably won't like what I have to say. The majority of them were racist on election day. The majority of Tennesseans admitted that they voted the way they did because of race. If I had voted against Obama because of his skin color, it would be hard for me to face. It's sad that most of my fellow Tennesseans voted against him because he's black. Tennesseans need to change because racial harmony is something that they lack.

Randy - Wow touchy subject Randy - I spent many years of my life in the most racial environment that there is - Kathleen made some very good points in her comment - And you made excellent points in your poem and I guess both of you are right - hopefully the day will come that all people see through the eyes of equality - I applaud your courage and agree with your message - God Bless, MJ
